Manoj_Jashti Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 India bowler Zaheer Khan has been ruled out of the remainder of his side's tour of England after being told he requires ankle surgery, it was reported Sunday. Left-arm pacer RP Singh, who had a successful tour of England in 2007 and played a strong hand in India's win at Perth in 2008, has been named as Zaheer's replacement. RP has not played a Test since India's defeat to South Africa in Ahmedabad, 2008, and had played the last of his 55 ODIs in the Champions Trophy of 2009. Khan, who is also suffering from a hamstring strain, is expected to be out until November after undergoing surgery. A statement from the Board of Control for Cricket in India read: "Zaheer Khan is suffering from a recurrent right hamstring strain and a right ankle impingement. "He will require a surgery for his ankle, followed by intensive rehabilitation for both the ankle and hamstring. He will need at least 14-16 weeks to recover completely. "He will therefore not be able to participate in the ongoing Test series and subsequent T20 International and ODI series against England." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
